Michelle was hosting a baby shower for her God daughter's parents, there she found Heritier a guest of the parents. It was during a bingo game that he turned over his paper to her, at that moment his responses were so funny to Michelle. Michelle then asked a mutual friend at the end of the night who he was, her words after finding out who he was were "I like him, give him my number". She never heard anything from him, so she assumed he didn't have the number. Later that weekend she came in contact with another mutual friend of theirs and she told him "that guy that was at the baby shower, that's going to be my husband". The friend then assured her he will let him know and make it happen. Here they are today almost 4 years later looking at Forever.
So after exchanging numbers Heritier & Michelle started reaching out to one another, but time was limited because of their schedule. Heritier will tell you "There were no intentions of being in a relationship, but I knew Michelle had a very good heart". One night they met in Walmart parking lot and he expressed to her things about his life and his family, at that point Michelle knew his honesty is what she had been looking for. Things went from them barely chatting to needing to see one another and chat almost every day. Heritier hated to text, so he did things very old fashion...hahaha....They started meeting at the botanical gardens in grapevine simply to get to know one another, talking for many hours and sometimes not making it home until the early morning hours. During the many of hours they would talk about the past, present and future of life. After a few months of them talking, hanging out, going on trips and expressing things to one another, they took it a step further and then started their committed relationship...…..
Michelle and Heritier had discussed getting married back in May 2019, but a ring was never bought. He said "I WANT TO MARRY YOU, but I need blessings from my family first". They hired a coordinator, set a date etc. but it was funny because no ring was bought, no blessings, and no confirmation. So months of them "fake" planning, it was in NOV. 2019 when life was about to change forever. Heritier bought tickets to see comedian Trevor Noah Nov. 24, 3 days after Michelle birthday. They were getting ready to head out for the night, Michelle turned around and to her surprise her engagement ring awaited. Heritier said "I kept my word, I talked to my family, are you ready to marry me?"...…. Here they are today preparing for 04.11.20 to join as MR & MRS. TSHIPATA. WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SHARE THIS NEXT CHAPTER OF LIFE WITH YOU!!! SEE YOU SEPTEMBER 05, 2020
